The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 88

With a dark glint in his eyes, Liam demanded, “I can give you some time to break up with Bernie, but the formulas... You must hand them over now!”

According to his understanding, the effects of those two formulas were remarkable. Anyone who got their hands on them could rise to the top in the shortest amount of time.

Whether the Sable family could become Jadeborough's wealthiest family and even rise to be Loang's most prestigious family would depend on the two medications.

A chilling glint flashed across Finnegan's eyes as he charged toward Liam at lightning speed.

The expressions of the two men behind Liam swiftly changed when they saw Finnegan's lunge. “Watch out, Mr. Liam!”

However, Liam didn't even have time to react.

Finnegan lifted his leg and swung it at Liam, sending the latter rolling across six meters of ground. The water from the mud drenched his entire body, making him look particularly wretched.

“I haven't paid you back for last night's incident, yet you dare come to me, flaunt your power, and threaten me. Do you truly take me for being kind?”

“Stop!”

The rough-looking subordinate and dozen bodyguards were about to retaliate, but Liam held his midsection as he rose to his feet to stop them.

It wasn't that Liam didn't want to teach Finnegan a lesson, but he was aware that even all the men on his side couldn't defeat Finnegan in a fight.

Finnegan sneered. “At least you have some self-awareness. Otherwise, you'd have ended up like Killian today.”

At his warning, Liam's body shook as comprehension dawned upon him.

When he investigated Finnegan's background, naturally, he discovered the latter's feud with the Chomsky family.

Can it be that Finnegan is behind Killian's current situation?

That thought sent Liam into high alert, but he still considered Finnegan an easy target. “I can give you seven days to make the smart decision, Finnegan. Or else, your Jerome Medical Clinic won't be opening next Friday, and you'll be riddled with bad luck. Don't even think about complaining to Bernie. It'll be pointless and only create more trouble for yourself.”

Once he finished, he held his midriff and hollered, “Let's go!”

He didn't expect a reply from Finnegan that day but was confident the latter would bow down to his threat and agree if he was smart.

After watching them get in their cars and leave, Finnegan retracted his gaze and said to Logan, “Sit for a while. I have to go and make a call.”

Liam is ruthless. I need to inform Alisha to arrange for someone to secretly keep an eye on the people at home in case Liam uses some underhanded method again.

“Aren't you worried he'll tell Ms. Zimmerman about what happened earlier, Mr. Liam?”

In the moving car, Hailey softly enquired as she gently rubbed Liam's belly.

Liam answered viciously, “Bernie is only aware of him treating Mr. Miles and doesn't know what medication he used. Do you think he would have given her the formulas if she found out about the matter and asked him for them?”

Hailey replied without hesitation, “Those formulas are worth tens of billions. Finnegan wouldn't be willing to part with them.”

Liam responded confidently, “Exactly! That's why he definitely won't let Bernie find out about my meeting with him. All I need is for you to watch him and report back to me the minute you discover anything.”

“Got it! But what if he still won't bow down and take your offer after seven days?”

“Then, when Jerome Medical Clinic reopens next Friday, it will be the start of his misfortune.”

Once Finnegan returned after his call, Logan asked, “Has your temper gotten better? In the past, you would've smacked that kind of person into a pulp or informed his elders after teaching him a lesson.”

Finnegan stared into the distance as he answered, “In the past, no matter what I did, nobody cared when I was in the remote primal forest. Yet, in this bustling city, every tiny movement causes ripples and gains unwanted attention. That isn't my intention, but I'm not afraid. I just don't want my family implicated. I hope Liam doesn't do anything stupid.”

Otherwise, despite my intention to lay low, I'll make sure he regrets ever being born into this world.

Jace watched the proceedings with growing interest.

Are Dr. Larkin and Stephen going to be love rivals?

Finnegan helped Nancy set the dishes on the table and explained, “Nancy is my sister's classmate and dormmate. I met her at my sister's birthday once. She's a nice girl.”

Relief flooded Stephen at Finnegan's explanation.

He nodded. “Nancy is, indeed, a good girl. She's clean, beautiful, and quiet. The most important thing is she inherited Mr. Sanchez's cooking skills. Even my grandpa praised her a few times whenever he ate here.”

Jace leaned toward Stephen's ear and whispered, “I see even Old Mr. Wright commends her. No wonder you like her, but is she aware of your identity?”

An awkward expression crossed Stephen's face as he replied softly, “Stop your nonsense. I really treat her like a little sister. She doesn't know about my identity. Grandpa hasn't shown his face in public for a few years now, and every time he came here, he took the taxi.”

Finnegan's and Stephen's praises caused Nancy to blush from shyness.

Flustered, she said, “Please sit. I have to help my father move something.”

Seeing her leave, Jace smacked Stephen's shoulder heavily and said, “You have a good eye. This girl is so innocent and shy. She's a good girl, indeed.”

Stephen smiled bitterly. “How many times do I have to tell you that I only see her like a little sister.”

“Sure! A little sister.”

Taking in how Finnegan calmly watched the two fool around, Logan silently lamented, Is he really a twenty-three-year-old young man? It's rare for me to see him acting like a young man. He seems more like someone who has weathered many storms.

Before long, Nancy and her father, Bennett Sanchez, carried the remaining dishes over.

Upon seeing the man carrying the roasted suckling pig, Finnegan was stunned. Even Logan was shocked.
